Marvel has announced the development of a new motion comic titled Iron Man Extreme.

The animated book is thought to be an adaptation of the 'Extremis' story arc by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov, which influenced the character's cinematic debut.

The project was outed during a Chicago Sun-Times interview with Marvel execs Ira Rubenstein and Tom Brevoort about the firm's digital strategy. "The new one for Iron Man Extreme is coming out," said Rubenstein.

Brevoort added: "I worked on the original comic that it's based on, so I'm really interested in seeing that."

Iron Man Extreme will be the publisher's third motion comic, following Spider-Woman and Astonishing X-Men.
